And so, therefore, we're going to take two of three from them, because baseball.

Hill last pitched on the 9th.  Alexander and Englert last pitched on the 10th.  Everybody else not named Boyd, Olson, or Lorenzen pitched yesterday.  I would imagine they go with the first trio to throw a bulk of the game today.  They just need to find a way to scrape by to the next off day (Thursday). 

Hill gets the biggest bulk today and then gets sent to Toledo for a fresher long arm?

Vierling will be activated before tonight's game; Solak gets the boot.

Solak came and went without me learning his first name.

So we missed a chance to see the 1st Vulcan player make the majors? A blow for intergalactic relations....

I thought he might be from Krypton. 

[Tiger337]

Solak has been in the majors before and he will be back with the Tigers.  He plays pretty much every position, doesn't hit much, but can draw a walk which makes him the perfect Hinch/Harris player.  

Edit: Actually doesn't draw that many walks, but hits better than I thought!  .327 lifetime OBP.

Players only broadcast. No Shep.

[HeyAbbott]

Players only broadcast means never-ending verbal manure.

[Dtrain72]

If Harvy doesnt have some pride and/honor and just opt out after this season, I will begin to personally despise him...right now I just professionally despide him and would rather choke on my own vomit than watch him at the plate.  

[clark1mt]

Gotta say, the sideline reporter on the radio broadcast talking with Dan and Jim is doing a pretty good job of getting her sentences in in between pitches and not talking over any action.

I don't know if this coverage is exactly what you would call good, but it's not missing Shep.

[gehringer_2]

Morton's back door breaking ball to the LH hitters looks like it's going way wide then zips right back over the plate

[Tiger337]

I will never buy Bird Dog shorts.

two in, man on 2nd, still no one out in the 5th. Braves looking to put this one away.

EDIT: Hill gets out of the inning without more damage. Game is still in reach at 3-0. At least for the average team on the average night.

It really is unfair that the Tigers offense has to go against Cy Young candidates every game this year...something needs to be done about this!

[kdog]

The Tigers have signaled with blaring sirens that they don't care about results right now. And the process is to steer head on into the tank.

Tigers waste a lead off double. Torkelson has twice tried to sit on and golf a Morton curve but popped it up both times.

[Dtrain72]

The fact may very well be, that indeed, in fact, Tork actually sucks.

[mtutiger]

This broadcast may be worse than the results
